Anatomy and Physiology Exemptions
There are many recognised qualifications in anatomy and physiology studies that are accepted by the Shirley Price College. If you hold a qualification already, please ask about exemption from further study in this area.
For the Shirley Price Aromatherapy Practicioner Diploma an anatomy and physiology qualification is required and if it has not already been obtained then this is the stage it should be sought. Besides our own in house anatomy and physiology course there are many excellent online courses and we can advise on these. Our recommended course is provided by Essential Training Solutions. This is an FHT approved Online Level 3 qualification. ETS also offer a VTCT accredited level 3 diploma in Antomy and Physiology and Pathology

Inevitably preparing for the theoretical and practical examinations requires some learning by rote and this guide ensures you cover all the necessary ground. If you are in any doubt as to the ground to be covered then it is as well to review the IFPA therapeutic massage and aromatherapy syllabus which also serves as a good checklist of your understanding.
